Dear friends and colleagues,
Where to start as there are so many good news is that we want to share with you? Below three dates of performances which we are pretty sure you who would wish to see.

On September 2nd Carel will participate in a spectacular event, “Empheiria”, which takes place in the gardens of Soestdijk Palace in Baarn (NL). It is the second year that this event is organized. With the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, the Chinese pianist Lang Lang, Iris Dog, Noa Wildschut and Carel among others, the event promises to be a spectacle with visual effects that have never been used in the classical world.

On Sunday, September 3rd Carel performs with pianist Michiel Borstlap and harpist Lavinia Meijer a concert in the beautiful outdoor theater Caprera, Bloemendaal (NL). The program is set up as a mini-festival, with all three musicians plaing a solo set, two sets as a duo and eventually they bring the performance to an end with all three musicians on stage.
